In fiscal years 2008-09 and 2009-10, the city has projected that
its sales tax revenues will flatten. Property tax revenues -- the
largest source of general fund dollars -- will continue to climb,
but at a slower rate, a city report states.

To keep expenditures flat, the city plans to shuffle some
staffers to different jobs, leave other positions vacant and cut
back on overtime, city officials have said. The city will also
increase the fees it charges to the Ocean's Eleven card room to 5
percent from 4 percent.
